She is doing a great job for her home land, i am also belonging from South Waziristan Agency. We also took some steps for the betterment of our Mahsud nation in the field of Education in shape of (MSEF) "Mahsud Student Educational Forum". Hope that Sabina will also support us, and will write about our this effort in her newspaper.

Since she is a native of South Waziristan, there will not be much trouble. She has been doing a great job so far. I hope she maintains the consistency. Anyway, it was interesting to read more about the Quaid-i-Azam University. visit us
